Charliewool Member 375 Member For: 22y 2m 26d Location: Melbourne Posted 04/04/03 05:02 AM Share Posted 04/04/03 05:02 AM October ( I think?) last year, Falcon got car of the year ..& the XR6T got best sports under $60,000.... October is NOT that far away again!..Unless the opposition comes up with something really special, (which I doubt in the time available?).. What's to say Ford can't pull both awards off again?... Call me biased, but what current Holden, Mitsubishi, Or ANY other make is gunna come close to the XR6T ??AND has it happened before?..( same car winning 2 years running) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1529-wheels-car-of-the-year/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is why the VY did not get a show this year. So unless for relase the BAII with major updates I can not see this happening.

Both have excellent reviews to date...And the price is good..

Has to have major differences to the previous model. That's why VY Late model camira wasn't a contender for Car Of The Year, It is basically just a VX with a few minor changes.
